"I was looking through Angie's list to hire an Architect and noticed "Mark Anderson Architects" was open (it was 7:30pm). Decided to give a call and I was expecting a receptionist to answer, but it was Mark himself. Talked to him about the project I had in mind and he gave me all the information over the phone. He was very straight forward. Thanks for your time Mark."
"To be honest Im dealing with a complicated district and I was kind of frustrated that my project was handed off to a new person but Raegan Hammon was the most patient, kind, professional and efficient Architect I have ever had the pleasure 🙏 of doing business with. Thank you for placing my project in her very capable hands. Forever grateful Leilee Keppard [*** Link removed ***]"

"We were having flooding issues with our yard the past several years after heavy rain storms. We hired a civil engineer, who came out and took the existing topography, then created a grading / drainage plan. I'm a commercial architect, so I designed some new concrete work and paver walkways at the same time. In addition to the yard work, we also planned for new cedar privacy fencing around the yard and a deck in the rear yard to be built at the same time. We got 3 estimates from local landscaping firms to complete all the work except the fencing and deck. (We chose a wood fence company to do that work). I found Lawncare Plus Design on Angie's List. They weren't the lowest number, but they were very close to the lower number and had included plant material that wasn't included by the other company. It also turned out that the owner lived close to us, and had a child in the same school as our kids. We had a comfort level with her we didn't get with the other two firms. Our Village required a permit for the grading and concrete work, which took a while to get. Lawncare Plus Design's owner, Maria, assisted with the permit effort. While we were waiting for the permit, we learned our neighbor, who was also having flooding issues, was very concerned our work would somehow negatively effect his yard or house, which has had seepage problems. He had talked to the Village, and was trying to "piggy-back" his work on top of ours without hiring an engineer or getting permits. He eventually wound up hiring Lawncare for landscaping as well, which I don't want to discuss here, but for the fact that he was very difficult to deal with on a daily basis, and didn't limit his concerns to his own work. (In other words, I learned he was often over in our yard bothing Maria's crew, as well as the fence / deck guys we hired.) Maria started by clearing the old turf and removing the old concrete patios. The brick paver walkways were started, as was the concrete work. (She sub-contracted the concrete work, but managed that crew so it was seemless.) It was at this point that we had the one problem with the work that occurred during the project. We had to have the air conditioner moved for the work, then re-installed later. The AC guy came out, disconnected and moved the unit, and clearly stated to myself and Maria that the copper lines coming out of the house should not be bent. The concrete guys wound up bending them later the very same day. As a result, we had to pay an extra $175 for the reconnection of the AC when it was done, but Maria owned up to it, and when some additional sewer lines were needed later in the project, we "horse-traded" and she covered that cost. Following that work, the fence and deck were started. As stated earlier, we hired someone else to do that work, but Maria coordinated her efforts with theirs along the way so everyone got along. As the work proceeded, Maria questioned the grading in the back yard as shown on the engineer's plans, and we did make some changes after meeting with the engineer. I appreciated Maria was concerned enough to bring up the issue, rather than plowing ahead with what was on the drawings without asking if it made sense. The grading issue in the backyard slowed the project down a bit, as we had to have the change approved by the Village, but everything eventually got resolved and Maria finished up by planting the shrubs and tree, followed by mulch at the shrub and tree areas, and then the sod. She helped out with watering the sod at the start, and came back a couple of times to check to see if the sod was rooting and for the first mowing. She also has done leaf removal as the project ran into the fall. Through the whole process, one thing I appreciated a lot was that Maria was communicative about what they were doing, and if and when there were going to be days where she wouldn't be working. The Village inspector was not always responsive for inspections, and I mentioned the pesty neighbor. She dealt with all of it very well. We are currently considering using Maria next year for all our landscaping maintenance now that the project is done."
"I am pleased of the outcome of this firm of designers and you will be too very polite people and know their job and will give his name and company to others friends of mind that might have the similar problem and want an Architect professional. He was punctual every day to complete the job very patience with me in doing the design and helping with finding the right people to work with our plans. The entire job was done with patience and skills and he has a wonderful professional attitude with doing a fantastic job. The job went better than I expected because Mr. Senga was a wonderful person to work with and you will find out when you meet him and his work will also speak for itself."
Renaissance-style architecture predates Italianate architecture and serves as an inspiration for many elements of the Italianate style. Renaissance architecture adheres to the rules of classical architecture, while Italianate architecture adds elements that served to modernize the Renaissance style for the Victorian era and allow this style of home to be produced in a range of sizes to be attainable for various budgets.
Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.
If your project is complex, it may make sense to hire an architect to draw plans. An architect might also be a good person to hire if you want to ensure your plans adhere to building codes and regulations.
Italianate architecture is a reinterpretation of Renaissance styles, combining elements of Italian farmhouses and villas with Victorian materials and construction. This home style emerged in the Victorian era, gaining popularity in the U.S. in the mid-to late-1800s. The style came about in response to what many then viewed as the too-rigid and stuffy Classical style designs.
Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.
